Death records were not kept in NC until 1913, so consequently there is no master list of deaths for any county prior to 1913. There is a cemetery book for Swain County, which is published by the Swain County Genealogical Society (_www.swaings.com_ (http://www.swaings.com) ), and which lists all cemeteries in Swain County and all the graves in them. You can contact them for purchasing information. There are some Swain cemeteries online at the Swain GenWeb site. Dr. Merrell Jenkins Riddle has spent many hours collecting and compiling the Swain death records 1913-1955 in two volumes which she offers on their website (_www.wncfamilies.com_ (http://www.wncfamilies.com) ). Hope this helps! Dee ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Are there websites that list the deaths and burials for Swain County in the timeframe of approx. 1850-1930? Help will be greatly appreciated. Marion

Jesse Henson was the son of Aquilla Washington Henson and Nancy Pressley. They were married in Haywood County. Jesse and Martha (Civil War vet) had five sons; Wesley A., William Thomas, Pinkney, Othia and Samuel (although I think Samuel was from another wife later on).

But let me give you what I have on that family. Gilbert Leroy Cabe: b 6/22/1915 d 1/24/1953 Una/Uma Miller b 3/27/1912 d 7/4/1953 Married 6/14/1934 The only child I knew about was Lelia Carolyn Cabe b 6/11/1935. I have her marriages and children too. I have no information on Uma's parents, but I have Gilbert's ancestors for a couple of generations. Your evidence (of Susan Mona being a child of Gilbert and Uma) is clearly compelling but it is interesting to me that my source let me down on this (since she has provided me such cast iron information for other people in this part of the tree). I wonder if there might have been some rift? Hope this helps. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

"Sarah Haseltine DeHart, daughter of John and Jane Roberts DeHart, was born Sat., April 14, 1832. At an unguarded moment, she strolled too near the Little Tennessee Creek (river) that flowed near the home and drowned in its angry waters. The tragic death occurred Jan 9, 1834, when she was less than 2 years old. It is unfortunate that a bright promising child should lose her life so young by accident. At first, she was buried in the Ammons graveyard. Later the Nantahala Light and Power Co. moved her bones to the Maple Spring graveyard, where she rests in a lonely grave with none of her close kin near. Her sister Lydia had to give the news of the death to her father." Dave Young Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

In the 1880 census (Nantahala), James Stillwell appears to be listed as "James F. Sillwell." I'll note your "James H." correction in my database, along with your name as source, as well. In addition, I show Charles R. Stillwell as son of James and Mary (also from the 1880 census). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Most probably a different Candace Stillwell...in that case, does anyone know if the 1873 Candace married and to whom? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
